One thing I’m learning is that even if I might be a rules guy — here’s hoping — and I’m definitely not an art guy (I withdrew from my one and only college art class when they asked us to draw a tree), being a words guy is tougher than I expected. Honestly, naming my children was a lot easier.

Stewing is such a great metaphor! Just turn the stove to simmer and let the flavors coalesce.

Trying to refine the pitch as of late, how does "A fast tactical conquest game where simple actions grow into asymmetric empires." hit you? I’d like to talk like a normal human, but I also want to try to get as much information into the smallest amount of space as possible!

Lately I’ve been thinking about influences. Every design builds on years of designers wrestling with the same problems. Understanding my influences helps me see what’s been tried, what works, and where there’s space to do something new. Curious how others approach this.

This talk really resonated with me as we create the lore of Avarice. It’s such an incredible feeling when someone gives voice to something you feel deep down. Thank you, @richdurham.itch.io ! #GDC23

Recently saw Meltwater! An amazing accomplishment in making abstract mechanics feel thematic. Definitely inspirational for those games out there currently theming their abstract mechanics… #avarice

February is a down month for conventions, but that just means you are more likely to catch Avarice online or around town! Fancy a playtest? Let us know! #avarice
